20100815142622_chuq.jpeg - Photographer Pondering Eternity (and sea otters), Pigeon Point, California.While out at Pigeon Point one day, I noticed a sea otter had wrapped itself in kelp and decided to take a nap in the bay near the lighthouse (see him here). While looking for an interesting image to take of the otter, I noticed this photographer doing the same. I liked the way he was set off against the waves and shore behind him, and his shirt gave the image a nice shot of color. this shot works for me on a number of levels, including (perhaps especially because of) the photographer being just slightly out of focus where the scene behind him is sharp -- to me, that emphasizes that he is there to frame the subject of the shot, not the subject of the shot himself. Which is what we as photographers are." id="img_16536_1_17" rel="gallery_16536_1">

20110316183610_chuq.jpeg - Morro Bay Harbor and Rock at Sunset, Morro Bay, California.Taken during one of my trips to Morro Bay, this is an HDR processed image. I hadn't actually planned on doing sunset photography that evening, but as I was sitting at dinner at the Great American Fish House on the harbor, I saw the sun line up and the clouds build, so when I was finished, I wandered out to the car, grabbed the gear, and walked out onto the pier next to the restaurant. If only all shoots were this easy. Image is hand held, no tripod." id="img_16536_1_20" rel="gallery_16536_1">
